Chapter 784: Chapter 779: Maze Part 1

"Harsh words can wait for later. For now, you should first deal with the Resurrection Golden Nine Formation surrounding you."

Shou Ruzun laughed heartily, making a casual gesture with his hand, and immediately, he and Lin Yaoyang were simultaneously enveloped by a pale, colorless light screen.

Wang Niu Wang walked to the edge of the tower and waved his hand.

Buzz...!!

In an instant, countless Void Demon Spirits soared into the sky like dark clouds, encompassing Lin Xin.

He raised his other hand again, and the bracelet on it emitted a dull grayish light.

In a flash, more than a dozen Blood Descendants with dragon heads shot up, merging into the Void Demon Spirits ascending skyward. The demon spirits transformed into dark red clouds, giving off an extremely ominous feeling.

"Formation, rise!"

Wang Niu Wang pressed downward with both arms.

With a booming roar, the dark clouds in the sky turned into a massive black rope, circling around Lin Xin and flying around him, emitting a piercing shriek.

Vaguely, all the black clouds began to slowly condense into a gigantic monstrous insect with four wings on its back, resembling a black serpent.

Ha!!

The monstrous insect opened its large mouth and bit toward Lin Xin in the center.

The enormous sharp mouth dwarfed the size of Lin Xin, like a human head compared to a sesame seed, a startling difference in scale.

Onlookers could even see countless black flying insects churning within the large mouth.

Boom!!

In an instant, the monstrous black insect exploded.

Lin Xin slowly retracted his left hand, having easily made a sword finger gesture, producing sword light that struck the monstrous insect three thousand six hundred and eighty-five times in an instant.

Each strike precisely hit the nodes of its magical formation.

The entire monstrous insect was utterly unable to respond, not even seeing the speed of the attack before it exploded instantly.

Countless black sticky substances fell to the ground in clumps, corroding the surface of Nine Clouds City into pits and holes, revealing even more craters on the ground.

Wang Niu Wang’s eyes widened; although he had spoken dismissively, deep down, he was extraordinarily cautious about Lin Xin, who had managed to defeat Xing Pengfei.

Who was Xing Pengfei?

One of the three most formidable Great Saints in the entire Shadow City! A reputation earned through real battles.

Even the Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t dare to take him lightly.

These Great Saints with Earth Immortal-level cultivation already possessed the power of a Heavenly Venerable. What more when they advanced further? Such a formidable figure was defeated by the person before him.

Wang Niu Wang was actually taking every precaution.

Seeing his formation fail, he immediately reached out, black smoke gathering into a ten-meter long guandao (Chinese pole weapon) in his hand.

"Terror!!"

With a low roar, countless Void Demon Spirits charged again, fearlessly surrounding Lin Xin, with even more demons continuously piling in behind.

In an instant, Lin Xin was enveloped into a massive black ball.

At Wang Niu Wang’s roar, a faint trace of red appeared on all the demon spirits’ bodies, noticeably increasing their speed by about thirty percent.

Wang Niu Wang raised the guandao above his head, starting to spin it slowly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh....!

The guandao spun faster and faster.

Wang Niu Wang had encountered many Origin Earth Immortals and Candle Earth Immortals, but none had ever pressured him as much as Lin Xin.

His heart tightened, but at the thought that killing Lin Xin would earn him great rewards from the Heavenly Demon Army Master, he was filled with intense fervor.

"Kill!!!"

Suddenly, Wang Niu Wang roared fiercely, hurling the guandao forward.

Shing!!

The ten-meter long guandao spun like a black whirlwind, crashing straight toward Lin Xin’s position.

Almost simultaneously, the black ball exploded.

BOOM!!

Amidst the deafening noise, a red beam of light burst from within, slamming into the black guandao.

Clang!

The guandao was knocked flying, shattering apart in midair into a black circular shockwave.

The red light descended rapidly; even Wang Niu Wang and Shou Ruzun couldn’t react in time.

The beam struck Wang Niu Wang directly.

Bang!

A cloud of pink smoke enveloped Wang Niu Wang completely, obscuring his figure.

Cackle, cackle....

A sinister, thin smile appeared on the surface of the smoke.

"Ultimate Bliss!"

The eerie face cackled as the pink smoke dispersed suddenly.

Wang Niu Wang stood there stupefied, his eyes vacant.

Hiss.....

His once strong and tall body shriveled rapidly before the naked eye.

It seemed like all the moisture in his body was being extracted. Within seconds, he went from a muscular Void Demon Spirit general to a shriveled black skeleton.

Plop!

He fell heavily to the ground.

All his Essence Qi, cultivation, and even his soul had entirely vanished.

Clap, clap, clap....

Shou Ruzun applauded vigorously, the smile on his face growing even brighter.

"As expected of the legendary top sword technique, the Supreme Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword."

Lin Yaoyang beside him had already passed out, suspended beside him.

"You’ve become even stronger.... To defeat His Excellency, Wang Niu Wang, with just one strike is truly remarkable!"

"However...."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Another Wang Niu Wang shadow appeared behind Lin Xin, hacking down on his back with a guandao.

"Terror King Slash!!"

The black guandao slashed down.

Lin Xin casually traced a line with his hand in return.

Clang!

The guandao shattered, Wang Niu Wang quivering, disintegrating into countless wisps of black smoke.

"Oh? The strength has increased by thirty percent from before?"

Lin Xin observed the comparison, slightly surprised.

A third Wang Niu Wang appeared again, charging in from the side, both hands gripping the guandao and slashing with a roar.

"Interesting!"

Lin Xin felt some vague speculation.

"Karma Taoist Technique, is it?"

He effortlessly blocked the incoming slash with a sword finger, shattering both the guandao and Wang Niu Wang into pieces.

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh Wang Niu Wang.

With each attack from a direction, the remaining Void Demon Spirits also pressed in on Lin Xin, continuing their siege.

"This is my Karma Taoist Technique, my Innate Divine Ability! Bull Demon Infants!"

The eighth Wang Niu Wang laughed as he slashed again, his power had increased by eighty percent since the first strike!

"It’s somewhat similar to my Divine Ability Sword Technique, but...."

Lin Xin paused.

"Still too weak."

Suddenly, he reached into the void behind him.

Though there was nothing there, as he reached, ripples of distortion appeared.

The eighth Wang Niu Wang’s expression changed dramatically.

"How dare you!!!" he shouted, putting all his strength into a slash towards Lin Xin’s neck.

"Stay your hand!!"

A hoarse voice transmitted simultaneously.

Two old cultivators, wearing Soul Sect robes, soared over, witnessing the scene with grim faces.

But it was too late.

Plop!!

From the twisted void, a small figure resembling Wang Niu Wang but visibly smaller was pulled out.

With a gentle squeeze, Lin Xin crushed the figure.

In the void, an invisible force compressed, and the small Wang Niu Wang, unable to speak, exploded like a crushed balloon, with blood and bone fragments flying everywhere.

"It’s over....!"

The two elders of the Soul Sect, trembling and pale, looked on in horror as they clung to each other, almost passing out from anger.

"What to do now!?"

"You’ve committed a grave mistake!!" one elder pointed at Lin Xin, trembling with fury.

"Do you know what you just did!?"

Lin Xin was puzzled. He had merely used a little of his power to kill a Void Demon Spirit general.

What was their attitude?

"What to do now!?"

The other elder finally reacted.

"What else can we do but hand him over to appease the Spirit Asura King’s wrath!" Shou Ruzun said sarcastically.

Lin Xin listened, realizing something was wrong.

This Soul Sect, believed to control this vast Star Domain by its strength, clearly had hidden depths.

Colluding with demon spirits was one thing, but also with Shadow City!

Wang Niu Wang, whom he killed, might not have been strong among the Void Demon Spirits, but his status was definitely high.

Shou Ruzun’s words sowed hesitation in the two Soul Sect elders’ minds.

An indiscernible aura formed around Lin Xin.

Demon Spirits encircled him fiercely, blocked by his Protective Aura.

At his level of cultivation, unless matched in tier, they couldn’t even get close before his cultivation ran out.

Seeing this, the elders worried about provoking a powerful enemy.

But the surrounding auras didn’t care about that.

The auras condensed, transforming into elderly Soul Sect cultivators, emitting a decaying stench.

Buzz....!

A yellow light bloomed, revealing a stern man with a black coronet.

"Heavenly Venerable?"

Lin Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Greetings, Deputy Sect Master!"

The present Soul Sect cultivators bowed to the man.

"Enjoy it." Shou Ruzun pressed Lin Yaoyang’s shoulder, smiling and vanishing.

Lin Xin’s face changed. Scanning with spiritual sense, he found no traces of departure.

In an instant, he descended into the tower, searching every corner without any sign.

"It’s a projection!!"

He realized suddenly.

Not only Shou Ruzun, but even Lin Yaoyang was a projection.

The projection was too real, even fooling him and Wang Niu Wang.

"Projection aura in around five days... meaning he set this trap five days ago..."

Lin Xin’s eyes grew cold.

It was his first thorough deception.

"Can the aura be tracked!?"

He quickly asked the Formation Spirit in his sleeve.

"Yes! Heading east." replied the Formation Spirit immediately.
